Robert:
All any of us really want is to be happy. What keeps us in the dream of separation and limitation is the mistaken belief that something here will make us happy. A Course in MIracles and our Inner Teacher are here to help us see that nothing in the world of images can bring us lasting happiness.
The dream is a dream of illusions, held in place by belief. But beliefs can change and therefore all illusions are temporary. By definition what is temporary does not last. And so no illusion can bring us lasting happiness.
Beneath all the striving to find something in the world that will comfort us and make us happy is the recognition that it will never succeed. Thus there is always an underlying depression that comes with seeking for happiness in the world, even when there are temporary moments of satisfaction because part of us knows that it cannot last.
The good news is that there is another way that does lead to lasting happiness. And the Guide to help us find that way is ever present in our minds. We need only be willing to step back from our striving in the world to let ourself be led to the peace of God.
The peace of God is all I want. Today I will step back and let my inner Teacher show me the way to peace. As I accept His guidance, I will recognize that peace is mine.
Mary:
As I daily strengthen my willingness to awaken, what comes with it is the willingness to accept God’s gift of peace. As I accept God’s peace, that which is not of peace falls away automatically.
The experience of peace leads to the awareness of what is eternally true… Oneness replaces thoughts of differences… Love’s unity replaces thoughts of conflict… Knowing that all is perfect Love replaces thoughts of separate bodies… Joy replaces fear… All this comes with wanting peace above all else. Letting this be my top priority is my opportunity for today. And I give thanks.
